Visual SourceSafe with VFP8

I stopped using VSS a long time ago (found it presented many errors) when I
was using VFP6. I didn't have time to sort all of the issues out back then.
Now I am up to VFP8 and would like to get back to using some sort of CVS
system. Will the version of VSS (6?) that I got with Visual Studio 6 work
with VFP8 or should I be looking at an alternative CVS system? Perhaps a
newer version of VSS. Ideally if an alternative one I would like it to be
freeware. But then who wouldn't.

The VSS that shipped with VS6 will work with VFP8. There is a newer version
of VSS, but I am not sure what's changed. The current version is VSS 6.0d.

We're using the current version of VSS, and it's as flaky as it's ever been.
If I had the choice, I would find something else besides VSS. The VFP/VSS
integration is not very well done, and MS has not yet done much to improve
it.

Save yourself some experimentation and buy a copy of ESSENTIAL SOURCESAFE
from http://www.hentzenwerke.com. The author, Ted Roche, is a Fox guru so a
lot of his examples are in Fox code.

I wouldn't term it as flaky, I also wouldn't term it as perfect either - how
about idiosyncratic?

And the integration works pretty well as long as you have a good process in
place that allows for it's idiosyncrasies.

You're definitely right about the fact that the product hasn't gone anywhere
in years. I sure would like to see a new version (and a more feature rich
VFP integration). If VFP were to build a visual designer to text conversion
tool, or even visual designers that could use text as their source files, it
would be a HUGE win-win for everyone. We could use text source files, which
in itself would be great for teaching how to code in a text file, while
still having the visual designers to fall back on, AND we'd have better
source code control since everything would be in text files (think merging,
branching, sharing etc....).

Stay tuned. Microsoft has said there will be "a major overhaul" to VSS for
2005.

Any word on VSS 2005 and VFP8/9? The roadmap makes it look like VSS 2005 is
targeted more towards .NET (saying that it will require Visual Studio 2005
to be able to take advantage of most of the new features).

I know we're being left out of most of the other new technologies associated
with .NET, and for the most part it's no big deal. But not being able to use
a new version of VSS to its' fullest would just plain suck.

That I have no clue on what VSS will support and what it will not. It's
integration into VFP couldn't be much worse, but I guess its possible it may
not work at all. <shrug>

Those looking for a new version control system may want to
check out CS-RCS. I've been using it for years in VFP development
and have been very happy with it. I don't use the VFP
integration, however, since VFP just doesn't work well
in that mode (no native support to check out classes within
class libraries, etc).

I also do development work from home (who doesn't). Will I need a permanent
VPN when I am developing unless I buy VSS offsite?
Might CVS allow working offsite?

The systems I looked at (including VSS) permitted this through
a RAS connection. You'll want a very fast connection though
since a good amount of data goes back and forth across the
wire... particularly when you fire up VFP. The delay was so
long for our development team that we opted not to use our
source control system integrated with VFP. While developing,
you're always opening and closing VFP. VSS was just making
it take forever to get anything done. Maybe a newer release
has fixed this problem.

Was it OK in Non-Integrated mode. I am thinking of going this route.

I was shocked to find out that some ISPs don't support or like VPN of any
kind. I was using the standard VPN software that comes with Win2000, but it
dropped its connection many (many) times over an hour. When I attempted to
find out what was going on, COMCAST (my ISP) blamed it on my remote server,
but all troubleshooting on the remote end didn't produce any ideas. I ended
up talking to one of the tech guys at Comcast (a feat in itself), who
actually admitted that they don't support VPN and suggested an ISP that
does.

My company wanted me to try another VPN product first. I am now using Cisco
Systems VPN client (4.0). I have had very few problems with it. As a
matter of fact, the only real problem I have is that the VPN administrators
have set it up so that I can not access any other network (including my
internal one) while I am connected to them. This meant that I had to
connect my network printer directly to my computer. Also, any testing I do
using the local servers has to be done while disconnected from the VPN.

As for VSS, if VPN is not your cup of tea, and your project files aren't too
large, you could use something like PCAnywhere to connect to you work PC and
upload/download files as necessary to work from home. If you are a W2
employee who does a lot of work from home, you may consider asking them to
set up a PCAnywhere machine on-site for you anyway. (If you are a long-term
consultant, you may want to consider spending the money yourself) I have
found that it is convenient for a couple of reasons:

1) It gives you a place to safely back up your files that aren't
necessarily ready for network storage
2) It is usually faster to run a query on the machine that is local to
the network (running its 100 mb or fiber connection) and then transferring
the resulting data file to your PC. For large datasets, this can mean the
difference between and hour and a couple of minutes.
3) You can run Long running processes on the machine local to the network
without fear of your VPN dropping out and aborting your program.

Even though I run VPN, I still have a PCAnywhere machine at the office which
I can connect to through the VPN. If my VPN is down for an extened period
of time, I can call someone in the office, and ask them to change the HOST
to dialup.

Yes. VSS did not slow things down when it was used in the
non-integrated mode. You just need to check files in and
out from VSS rather than from within VFP. Our team ended
up purchasing and using CS-RCS rather than VSS. It just
worked better for us than VSS. We're still using it to this
day - some four years later.
